Bishop and Warpath Confirmed for "X-Men: Days of Future Past"

Director Bryan Singer has updated his Twitter account with an updated list of which mutants will appear in "X-Men: Days of Future Past." There are characters like Professor X, Magneto and Storm, but Singer also mentioned Bishop and Warpath.

Bishop will likely be played by Omar Sy. The character was introduced in 1991 as part of a mutant police force from the future. He wasn't created until after the "Days of Future Past" storyline in the comics, but played a major role in the animated TV series adaptation. Bishop has the power to absorb and project energy.

Warpath will likely be played by Booboo Stewart. The character made his first appearance in the 80s and has such powers as flight and enhanced strength and speed.

But MKA was based on an incoherent story from the MK 2&3 games, so it was already going to be stupid. X-Men:DOTF is arguably the very best X-Men story from the comics and it has a sh*tload of characters and it seems like Singer is trying to include most of them.

I won't be surprised if this gets split into 2 films. DOTF really should be in 2 parts anyways, it's a big story.

lol, yeah he was a bad choice for Shao Kahn but James Remar was even worse as Raiden. At least Christopher Lambert was putting some effort in as Raiden in the first movie but Remar is a horrible actor to begin with and his complete lack of acting skills was further magnified in a movie that was little more than cosplay dinner theater.

Got to agree with Bando on this one. Remar is a great character actor. Been in a million movies and I can't really remember one bad performance. Don't forget the dude KILLED it as Dexter's dad, he does some of the best voice over work out there (big part of the Call of Duty storyline), and when you need a capable bad guy on the cheap he's always available. A true unheralded legend in my book.

Yeah, I agree, Deaft0ne, Remar isn't a great actor for sure. His performances always come off as totally canned. He doesn't sync with his given roles and calling him a character actor is an insult to true character actors like Morgan Woodward. Now there was a true character actor, whereas Remar comes off like he's imitating a real actor acting. His role on Dexter was absolutely lifeless and wooden. On the other hand, Woodward's Man with No Eyes in Cool Hand Luke was so dedicated, he refused to go out of character between takes just to keep his role's realism alive.

And I agree Thompson isn't the worst, and does some roles well, but only those properly suited to his stature and freakish appearance, like the alien bounty hunter in The X-Files.

I read people keep thinking the new X-Men movie has too many characters, but they'll really be just cameos that will move the plot along.

Take WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT for example, if you heard of ALL THE NAMES of all the characters (M. Mouse, B. Bunny, Daffy & Donald Duck, Betty Boop etc.) people would think the same way, but they're just cameos...we'll see how Singer uses them.

Also as I said before if Singer comes through or f*cks it up, I'll still see the movie, front row...there hasn't been anything this ambitious. A culmination of a trilogy & its cast in a time traveling plot...damn!!

I don't think the number of characters in this film will hurt it. I just think they'll use them sparringly like in flash-forwards or alternate timeline scenes. I doubt they'll all be heavily used through the entire film. The time traveling alternate reality premise gives them a great way out of having to use everyone.
